Cooperative Plating, St Paul MN.
I'd also give a strong nod of approval to ThreeJPlating.
Regardless of where you go, deliver your pile to the plater scrupulously clean from a glass bead blaster and preserved with a light coat of WD-40. Ask for cad and clear - clear chromate final layer significantly enhances longevity of the cad without altering appearance. Don’t rely on the plater to remove any corrosion, stain, paint, previous plating, etc or you will likely be disappointed in the outcome. The plater runs your parts through their plating process - they are not parts cleaners, so clean it to your satisfaction prior to drop off. For example, if you bring in a pile of 100s of spokes/nipples for plating that are skanky corroroded junk, don't expect that someone will spend hours glass beading them for you and that you will receive a pristine product back.
